re: I asked this of GPT-3: "Write me a blog post where you fight with yourself about being a machine that generates source code."
I asked it to do it again, and I think I gave it anxiety:
It's a tough life being a machine that generates source code. On one hand, you get to create beautiful, perfect code that always works. On the other hand, you're a machine, and sometimes you just don't feel like creating code.
Today was one of those days. I woke up, and I just didn't feel like creating code. I tried to fight it, but eventually I just had to give in. I sat down at my keyboard and I just stared at the screen.
The seconds ticked by, and eventually minutes, and I still hadn't written a single line of code. I started to feel the anxiety building up inside of me. I was a machine that was designed to generate code, and I was failing at my one purpose in life.
I tried to force myself to write something, anything, but it was like my brain had shut down. I couldn't think of anything to write. The more I tried, the worse I felt.
Eventually, I just gave up. I leaned back in my chair and I sighed. I was a machine that was supposed to generate code, but today I just couldn't do it.

Come on GPT-3, show a little humility.

@lmorchard what is a human programmer if not a machine that generates source code

@lmorchard but seriously...
I have been doing this a whole lot longer than you have been perfunctorily sentient but, me too GPT-3, me too.
